If $100k a year is not enough, try this other fast food joint:

Managers at In-N-Out Burger Make $160,000 a Year

This might be the surest (legal) path to a six-figure salary, regardless of whether you have a high school education.

It's one's responsibility for seeking the truth through his/her own research. For instance, theking's a douche bag and many ph members would agree. He refers to us as the "handful of members", "ignorant", etc. Unfortunately for him, us "handful" exceed those who don't think he's a douche bag. What do you expect from someone who struggles to decipher between pork and beef or who orders his specialty sriracha sauce that he's been eating since the 80's at a marked up price online?

Watch theking come in here and respond to my post like the dog he is who has lost his master and needs to follow me around! 

After following me around like the "dog he is who lost his master and needs to follow me around", look at the cry baby too scare to face me directly now because I made him cried mommy the hardest so he goes to other members' threads and does proxy attacks like BNM and their fellow handful members of their "douch bag" clique..

This "douche bag" is still hurting bad and "many ph members would have to agree" because a supposedly grown man running to the "mods and admins" and crying as hard as he did is unheard of in PH but then again, he IS the "douche bag' so NOT surprised..

AND HERE'S THE "douch bag" cried to the "mods and admins" that he's still hurting badly from so much so that he even do proxy attacks now  :

"Admins and Mods, I think it's unfair how a locked thread is still visible to all" (boo hoo). "I think it should be removed" (boo hoo). "It pains me to know and see that while the other party has the last word, all I can do is read what he/she has to say and can't respond" (boo hoo hoo). "Please take into consideration what I have said because not being able to respond and have the last word really drives me nuts" (BOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO....)

BTW, IF YOU WANT THE ORIGINAL POST, PM ME BECAUSE POSTING IT HERE WILL MAKE THE "douche bag" CRYBABY RUN TO THE "mods and admins" AND CRY EVEN HARDER AND WASTE MORE OF THEIR TIME...

A Devoted Tesla Driver Surgically Implanted the Keys to His Model 3 Into His Hand

Even the most organized humans will encounter the misfortune of misplacing their keys. But this tech-savvy Utah man has come up with an intrguing—and somewhat disturbing—new way to ensure he never experiences the inconvenience again. Ben Workman has implanted the RFID chip from his Tesla Model 3’s key card into the back of his hand.

Something of a walking key card, Workman now has a total of four computer chips in his hands plus a magnet, each offering a different function. The latest addition allows Workman to simply press his hand against the door of his Model 3 and, hey presto, he’s in without the jingle-jangle of keys.

Men are paying $76,000 for a limb-extending surgery that involves breaking leg bones and inserting nails and screws



Dr. Kevin Debiparshad

Some men and a few women are getting plastic surgery to lengthen their limbs and grow up to six inches taller.

Dr. Kevin Debiparshad, founding surgeon at The LimbplastX Institute in Las Vegas, Nevada, has performed this procedure on more than 30 people since opening his practice in 2018.

The two-hour, $76,000 procedure involves minor breaks in the leg bones, nails and screws, and physical therapy. It takes a full year to see the end results.

Some patients may lose some athletic ability, and a psychologist previously told Insider "cosmetic procedures don't have a lasting effect on people's positive body images nor their general well-being."

Visit Insider's homepage for more.

When you think of plastic surgery, boob jobs and liposuction are likely some of the first procedures to come to mind. But limb-lengthening surgery is now also an option for people who want to be up to six inches taller.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Kevin Debiparshad founded The LimbplastX Institute in Las Vegas, Nevada, in 2018 to create a business centered around limb-lengthening cosmetic surgery. Debiparshad told Insider that since opening The LimbplastX Institute, he's worked with more than 30 people to make them taller.

According to Debiparshad, many patients — surgeons, lawyers, and venture capitalists among them — come to him as "fairly successful people career-wise, but they have feelings of lacking" when it comes to height.

"They think if they can modify this one complaint, it can make their life complete in some way," Debiparshad said, adding that post-surgery they thank him for making their lives better because they feel less insecure.

Most of Debiparshad's patients have been men, he said, but he's also had some women who want to add height to their appearances.



Although lengthening a person's bones for cosmetic purposes is a new concept, the technology and procedure to do just that had existed for nearly 100 years, according to the journal Children's Orthapaedics.

Today, the procedure involves inserting surgical nails and screws into the hollow part of a person's bone, usually in the legs, and slowly extending the nails and screws to train the tissue in the area to permanently stretch.

This procedure is commonly used on patients with leg wounds from military service, car crashes, or other traumatic events, but Debiparshad said he and his mentor Dr. Dror Paley in West Palm Beach, Florida, began using the technique for cosmetic purposes.

Debiparshad is the first-known surgeon to open a practice dedicated to making people taller.

The procedure costs $76,000 and requires two hours of surgery and weeks of physical therapy
If a person wants to add height to their appearance, it comes at a cost — $76,000, to be exact.

At Debiparshad's LimbplastX Institute, that price tag includes the surgery itself, hospital stays following the operation, and two to four weeks of physical therapy, which Debiparshad said is a necessary part of the limb-lengthening process. Airfare to Las Vegas, food, and hotel costs aren't included in the $76,000.

When a patient gets "Limbplastx," as Debiparshad's practice calls the procedure, they're first given a general anesthetic so they're asleep for the entire two-hour procedure.

During that time, Debiparshad breaks the bone in the lower leg, thighbone, or shin area by making a half-inch incision in the skin and then using a small drill to weaken the bone and help it to break in a precise area. Then Debiparshad penetrates the bone with a chiseling tool that's also commonly used in nose job procedures.

Finally, he inserts nails and screws to repair the small break he created. He does this on each leg.

Following surgery, the patient stays in the hospital for one night for basic monitoring and to receive pain medication, blood thinners to prevent blood clots, and muscle relaxers, Debiparshad said.

Each patient is also given an iPad and given instructions to press a button on the device daily, which sends a signal to the implants Debiparshad installed earlier to extend about one millimeter each day. After 25 days of pressing the button, a person will have gained about an inch of extra height, according to Debiparshad.

"Tricking the body into thinking you're growing is basically what this is," Debiparshad said.

After one week recovering, patients can start to walk regularly again and go to physical therapy, which Debiparshad said is necessary to stretch the tissue connected to the bones and help patients regain their full range of motion.

They continue with physical therapy until they've reached their desired height, which can be up to five or six inches taller than their height before the procedure. A year later, Debiparshad removes the screws and nails and the bone and tissue stay permanently stretched from that point forward.

According to Debiparshad, the procedure can cause pain especially during the first week of recovery since it does involve the breaking of bone, but most patients tell him the pain wasn't as bad as they expected it to be. Most patients can walk around the medical facility where they're recovering just a day after surgery.

Makes sense for someone who can't tell the difference between pork and beef, since that particular sriracha sauce your referenced is a specialty sauce. Continue to pay that marked up price dumb-ass!

The six-figure sum is not being offered at a haute cuisine location with culinary accolades, but at fast-food chain Taco Bell. Amid an increasingly tough U.S. labor market, the company is betting a higher salary will help it attract workers and keep them on the team.

An Asian should know that local Asian stores have these sauces. No need to go thru Amazon to pay for extra costs.

Depends as not all Asian stores carry it and not all locations where Asians live have Asian stores..Just like the chili pepper sauce that nkaujsee posted about, which is why there's a market for it online as well ..for those that don't have provider/vendor locally to buy from.
